Modern Painter's by John Ruskin completely changed the way I look not only at art, but the world. This video sums up the main themes of this book that I think are relevant to the war on beauty, including: imitation, beauty, imagination & truth, what is great art, and finally, contemporary corruption.

I read the abridged version of Modern Painters by David Barrie (David Barrie. Modern Painters. Alfred A. Knopf, 1987, New York, NY.), which can be found on second-hand book sites, or you can read the full text on Project Gutenberg.
